Courteney Cox will finally return in Scream 7

Gale Weathers will still be on the hunt. Will she end up getting caught by Ghostface?

After the return of Neve Campbellit's the turn of Courteney Cox to join Scream 7. Good news since his character, Gale Weathers, never really left the saga. Unlike Sidney Prescott, the journalist and writer was well into Scream VI. She was having a bad time there…

In any case, she will be alive and well in Scream 7as confirmed today by Variety, which explains that Cox always wanted to return. But she was waiting to read the final script before deciding (to find out Gale's fate?). And obviously, she is “delighted“to see the original screenwriter, Kevin Williamsontake up the torch and achieve this Scream 7. “We couldn't make a better choice. It's going to be fun to shoot.“

It will be recalled that Courteney Cox has been calling for the return of Dewey, played by her ex-husband, for a while David Arquette. The character was killed in Scream 5but she assures that fans absolutely want to see him again. So did she win her case?

Scream 7 will be released in American theaters on February 27, 2026. The French date is not yet known, but it should be around the same time.
